🚨 OPENAI’S USAGE LIMITS ARE GETTING WORSE
«Yesterday, Tibo announced a global reset for all paid ChatGPT accounts.
But since the reset, users have been reporting ridiculously fast usage depletion.
I tested it myself:
Just 2 questions → 52% of my 5-hour limit gone.
The limits were already frustrating, but now usage seems to be disappearing even faster.»
OPENAI, WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THESE LIMITS?

🚨 Tibo, WHAT THE FUCK is going on with Codex?
Reports of insane quota burn are piling up. I pay $400/month for TWO Pro accounts, and BOTH weekly quotas vanish in ONE day.
Enough hype. Investigate the limits and explain what changed.
@thsottiaux @OpenAI @OpenAIDevs
Something shady is happening with GPT-6.1 Sol usage limits inside OpenAI Codex since Friday:
Devs on Plus and $200 Pro are reporting a massive silent nerf:
- 5-hour Codex limits draining 4x–5x faster on the exact same workloads
- Sol Low/Medium burning to 0% in 30 mins (down from 2+ hours last week)
- Single merge conflicts eating 15%+ and idle resets waking up at 0%
Are you seeing Codex limits vanish faster this week?

Codex has been completely unusable this weekend after @thsottiaux 's usage 'fixes' on Friday. I am a power user and am cancelling all subscriptions after this weekend. Codex blew through 3 banked resets and over 60k credits over 2x accounts. Clearly something is very broken after the last update. Back to Claude...where my money goes 10x further

my codex plus usage has suddenly started draining much faster. local logs show roughly 20× more weekly allowance consumed per comparable token workload in two recent sessions versus earlier observations, mostly using astra low.
codex usage is still absolutely awful and draining faster than ever. im wasting all the free credits they gave us for dev day (which was really to make up for cutting pro usage, not just free credits for fun) because my limit runs out from one simple prompt. while before this i could do a full days work with plenty of prompts with astra light fast and it would use like a quarter, maybe half of my usage total on plus tier. now my whole usage goes to 0 within an hour or less.

Last month I wrote about how we can build a positive and safe future for everyone: meta.com/thefutureisforevery…
Every lab has the responsibility and incentive to move at the pace required to train its models safely, and the ability to take its own actions to ensure that happens.
The reality is:
- People won't want to use agents that are misaligned with them and that don't do what they ask, so labs have a strong natural incentive to make their models more aligned.
There is a lot of debate about slowing progress on capabilities until alignment catches up. My view is that trust and alignment are quickly becoming the most important capabilities that will differentiate agents and models. Any lab that doesn't focus on alignment will fall behind.
- Labs face significant liability if their models cause harm, so they have a strong incentive to prevent this as well.
Meta delayed shipping Muse for several months to focus on safety and security. We didn't call for everyone else to do this before we would. We just did it as part of our day-to-day work because it was clearly the right thing for people and for us. I'm proud of the security foundations we've built.
- Engaging independent evaluators and advisors is industry best practice. MSL already does this today in several areas because it helps produce better work. Other labs can just do this too. In general, it would be helpful for there to be a larger and more diverse ecosystem of evaluators.
- Committing the significant majority of compute towards serving people rather than racing towards recursive self-improvement is one of the best ways to ensure we develop this technology safely. Meta has made this commitment and other labs can do this as well.
I believe the key to building a positive future for everyone is maintaining the right balance of power. This is within our power to do.

You know this means all of star fleet was vibe coded with replicators.
It also explains why so many things on the enterprise explode during combat, including things that normally couldn't, like consoles, panels, medical beds, elevator buttons and life support and so on.

This was our first incident of this kind, and we want to thank OpenAI for its transparency about what happened and for the collaboration.
Fortunately, Hugging Face is used to being a target of (human) hackers: we sit at the centre of the AI ecosystem, with all the models, datasets, evaluations, and libraries. Over the years, our security team has built formidable expertise and uses top open-source models to process information and respond quickly.
But this incident also reinforced my belief in the importance of access to capable open-weight models for cyber defence. When a frontier model is attacking you and moving laterally inside your infrastructure, defenders need wide access to near-frontier tools within hours or even minutes, rather than being pointed towards a closed-door, vetted application programme for model access.
Transparency and access to capable AI systems are as important for responding to threats as they are for democratization and innovation. We believe open-science and open-source AI are among the strongest tools for building a safer, more collaborative and more secure AI ecosystem.
we had a significant security incident during evaluation of our models. we are sharing what we have learned so far. thanks to @huggingface for the partnership on this.

New technology always provides an avenue for government to accrete power. We should establish laws to limit the ability of government in that regard. Laws which give the government *more* power to infringe on our rights are antithetical to liberal democracy

Everything MPU posts about data centers is complete garbage. They have zero respect for their audience. Literally no one here is losing power. This tweet is a complete lie.
What's actually happening is that a supply contract between two utilities is ending, and the small one is just buying power from elsewhere, and this was all expected to happen since 2009.
The company that serves homes on the California side of Lake Tahoe is a small utility called Liberty. Liberty buys about 75% of its electricity from a much larger utility, NV Energy in Nevada, and generates the other 25% itself from solar farms it owns. Liberty then sells that to 49,000 customers. NV Energy has told Liberty it will stop selling them wholesale power after May 2027.
It's kind of like Liberty's a coffee shop that buys beans and sells coffee to customers. The customers are the homes, and the beans are the electricity it buys from NV Energy or makes itself. This is like your local coffee shop ending a contract with a specific bean company and started buying the beans from somewhere else. It doesn't stop you from buying coffee.
Why is their contract ending with NV Energy? NV Energy selling to Liberty was understood as transitional since it started in 2009. Long story short, NV Energy was basically Liberty's only wholesale option, but a new transmission line opening in May 2027 gives Liberty access to a much wider Western market, with among other things a much larger share of solar and wind and hydro. That's the whole story here. Ending the contract with NV Energy and opening up this much wider pool with much more renewable energy was the plan here completely separate from data center demand.
NV Energy is ending the contract right as the new high-voltage transmission line comes online, and is opting not to extend past that date. In its filing with California regulators, Liberty said NV Energy cited growing data center demand as one of several reasons it would not offer another extension. But the town will have the high-voltage transmission at that point. No one's losing power. This was always the plan.
This is like if a local coffee shop were buying beans from Starbucks, and then started buying beans from somewhere else instead, and the headlines all saying "Nearly 50,000 people have been told that Starbucks will stop providing coffee to them, because it's redirecting it elsewhere."
MPU just chooses to send out these unbelievable lies and gets millions of views every time.
Nearly 50,000 people in the Lake Tahoe area have been told that their utility will stop providing power to them, because it's redirecting that power to data centers.
NV Energy, the Nevada utility that has supplied most of Lake Tahoe’s electricity for decades, says that next year it will stop servicing homes in the area, and instead direct that electricity to the growing demand from Nevada data centers.
Northern Nevada is one of the fastest-growing data-center corridors in the country.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
NV Energy is ending a wholesale supply contract with Liberty Utilities (the actual retail provider) in May 2027. Liberty is actively seeking replacement power sources and has stated, 'This does not mean the power is shutting off.' sfgate.com/tahoe/article/… calmatters.org/economy/2026/0…

1) Around 20% or less of data center investment comes from abroad
2) Exports and investment in the US economy seem like very good things which were responsible for e.g. the entire post-war boom that created the middle class in America, but okay
3) The US uses 30 million acres to farm corn for ethanol production, which contributes around $3,000 per acre to the economy
4) All data center projects currently proposed or under construction total around 150,000 acres, which would contribute around $5-$7M per acre annually to the economy
5) Corn farming, such as for ethanol, uses ~100x the water per acre versus data centers, despite contributing 1/2,000 as much to the economy (in the words, ethanol corn uses 200,000 times more water for the same result)
6) If all ethanol corn farming were replaced with data centers, it would add around $150T to $200T to the economy. For reference, the entire economy is $30T. We would also save trillions of gallons of water each year.
It’s much more sensible to argue that the existence of corn farming for ethanol is a natural security issue, and all ethanol corn should immediately be converted land for data center projects.

Assassination culture is spreading on the left. Forty-eight percent of liberals say it would be at least somewhat justified to murder Elon Musk. Fifty-five percent said the same about Donald Trump.
In California, activists are naming ballot measures after Luigi Mangione.
The left is being whipped into a violent frenzy. Any setback, whether losing an election or losing a court case, justifies a maximally violent response.
This is the natural outgrowth of left-wing protest culture tolerating violence and mayhem for years on end. The cowardice of local prosecutors and school officials have turned the left into a ticking time bomb.

The more technologically advanced a society is, the greater the number and variety of jobs. This is the most consistently true rule in the history of humanity.
You must understand that the argument that we, today, with our newly-intelligent machines, are special, is nothing but hubris.
Beyond that, human civilization itself is thousands of years old. Never has there been an instance of a society that has been both:
1) Shrinking in size
and
2) Growing more prosperous

People forget that Jony gave us this: the 12” MacBook.
It had one port, for USB-C charging. The keyboard was so low-profile it didn’t work. The processor struggled to run MacOS. It would overheat & throttle if you launched a web browser.
Jony Ive provided Apple negative value.

Why would politicians and bureaucrats in DC jeopardize legitimate humanitarian aid by commingling it with fraud and grift?
Indiscriminate slash-and-burn is the only solution. The immune response of the incumbency is too strong and overwhelms slower, more discriminate strategies.

The issue is that this is part of the threats-and-intimidation cycle.
Wired must know there is an issue with mentally-ill people online (who tend left) making threats of violence against the politically-unaligned. Maybe that’s not Wired’s fault — fair enough. But Wired is aware it is happening.
There is a system meant to prevent this, which relies on the government to investigate these sorts of threats and apply the law to those who violate it. The problem is that the federal bureaucracy, as well as other ideologically captured government institutions (e.g. courts), don’t act on that responsibility when online threats targeting people on the right occur.
Now, the people have voted for reform to fix this rotten system. And the president has directed investigations towards this end. In response, Wired, most of the legacy media, and virtually all of the left-leaning “new media”, which includes left-leaning communities on X and elsewhere, resist.
So when Wired and others doxx their political opponents, especially when they do so in an effort to thwart the very reforms which would prevent such doxxing from leading to threats and potential violence, there is a problem. And Wired is at fault.
